The Inner Wheel, ladies section of Rotary, is collecting ring pulls for The Purple Community Fund who then sends them to the Philippines where there is terrible deprivation. The ring pulls are melted down and the locals then use the aluminium to make jewellery and this is sold to make money for charity. The ring-pulls from drinks and food cans make the most amazing and valuable products that PCF sells worldwide. All the profits from the products are put straight back to work within the charity and so benefit the community again and again. If you can help please place the ring pulls in the plastic box in the foyer. Thank you.

In 2017, Superb Choice Club offers seven holidays in the UK, from Strathpeffer to East Anglia and N Ireland, and nine further afield, mostly in Europe – Majorca, Malta, the Black Forest, Geneva, Helsinki with St Petersburg, Tuscany, Prague and the Canaries. Some are for five or six days, most are for a week, and there’s a longer one to Iceland and Nova Scotia.
Pleasant hotels with en suite facilities, good food and daily programmes for outings and activities happen with other holidays, so what makes these ones different? They have a spiritual side as well: two club members organise the daily gatherings to worship God around his Word. Many single folk appreciate the company and the safe environment of these friendly holidays. Brochures are available in the foyer, or find out more online: www.superbchoiceclub.org.uk. Book soon; the holidays are very popular – and there’s a discount till the end of December 2016! Phil and June Malloch
